Phantom Blade Zero launches on October 29, 2026, worldwide, on PlayStation 5 and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store). The date was announced alongside the game going gold — S-GAME confirmed in August 2026 that development was fully complete.

  • July 2026: the delay was confirmed — roughly 50 extra days for final polish, moving launch to October 29
  • August 12, 2026: pre-orders opened across all storefronts, with pricing revealed
  • October 29, 2026: launch — PS5 (console exclusive for one year) and PC

What is already playable

A public demo ran before launch and drew strong responses from press and players for its combat feel — see demo hands-on reception. Physical pre-orders included a Collector's Edition that sold out its limited run; details in the Collector's Edition breakdown.
